Thanks, I already did that and have the "My Lowe's" card that I give with each purchase every time. My problem was always at the various Home Depots. It seemed like each store had their own policies regarding the veteran's discount.
I came back to this thread to update that I finally received the official VA card yesterday. They kept telling me my picture was "too fuzzy" and I needed to send a new picture. This happened 3 or 4 times. Finally accepted it Friday and received it yesterday. They actually sent two identical cards. I don't know how many times I will actually use it, but it was free and I have it if needed.

Sorry to keep rehashing this thread, but I finally got through and uploaded all the stuff they asked for a couple of weeks ago. They said it was approved and would be processed and sent in about 4 to six weeks. I was just wondering if anyone got it done and if so, have you received your card yet or did you just give up, lol? (I know I still have several weeks to wait.)

I don't know for sure, but I have had issues with a few places like Home Depot refuse the DL or LTC w/ veteran saying they needed "something" from the military ie..DD214. I know it sounds silly, but maybe it's more "official".

Same here. Hopefully it'll be back up and online soon. This is a lot easier than using a DD214.

Yep, same here. STILL waiting for an email reply. I'm not holding my breath though....this is the VA. Sorry, for the negativity, but just an other bad experience when dealing with the VA.
